Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) ComplianceDirective 2002/95/EC—commonly known as the European Union (EU) Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)—sets limits on the use of certain substances found in electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of this legislation is to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals that may leach out of landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the environment during end-of-life recycling. The Directive, which took effect on July 1, 2006, refers to the following hazardous substances:

Lead (Pb)

Mercury (Hg)

Cadmium (Cd)

Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)

Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)

Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)

According to this EU Directive, all products sold in the European Union will be fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” (See our website for more information on dates and deadlines for compliance.) Spare parts supplied for the repair and upgrade of equipment sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the legislation. Equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a RoHS-compliant emblem, as shown in Figure P-1.

Installing SEL-1ENC1 ModulesYou can insert a Selenio module into a frame with the power supply turned on or off. Follow this procedure:

1 Remove a blank back module from the frame, saving the blank back modules and their captive screws for future configurations.

2 Attach the new back module to the empty slot, using the mounting screws provided.

Align the back module’s pin into the guide hole, and ensure that the EMI gaskets separating the back modules remain in place during the installation. The EMI gaskets fit tightly. To ease the installation of back modules, gradually press each back module into place from the left side to the right side.

Figure 1-6 Installing Back Modules

3 Apply labels to the back module, if these are supplied separately.

4 Print out this page and write down the placement of the back modules in the diagram below (back modules appear on the reverse side when viewed from the front).

CAUTION: Do not mix and match back and front modules. The front module must mate with a back module of the same product.

5 Open the front panel and then slide the correct front modules into the slots that match the back modules.

6 Push the module until it seats properly, ensuring the edge of the module is flush with the edge of the module guides, and the square extractor handle clicks into its slot.

7 Install the remaining back and front modules, make all of the necessary rear connections, and then close the front panel.

CAUTION: To prevent overheating during frame operation, keep the front panel closed and all back module slots covered.

Removing Selenio Modules

Front Module To remove a front module from a Selenio frame, follow this procedure:

1 Open the front panel.

2 Grasp the extractor handle on the module, pulling down slightly.

3 Using the handle, slide the module out of its slot.

Figure 1-8 Removing a Front Module

4 Close the front panel to ensure proper frame ventilation.

Back Module To remove a back module from a Selenio frame, you must first remove the front module. Then unscrew the back module, and pull it straight out. Cover the opening with a blank back module to ensure proper frame ventilation.

1. Pull down to unlock the extractor.

Extractor lock

2. Slide the module out of the slot.

Powering Up a ModuleThe SEL-1ENC1 is ready for use when its parameters appear in the Selenio UI. The power consumption of a SEL-1ENC1 module is 45 W.

Upgrade Module FirmwareAll module firmware upgrades are activated in the frame controller section of the Selenio user interface. Follow this path to find the appropriate parameters: Configuration > Frame Controller > Configuration tab > Upgrade Firmware.

See the Selenio frame manual for information on how to upgrade module firmware.

In the unlikely event of an upgrade failure for the SEL-1ENC1, use the Upgrade Failure Instructions of this manual.

Upgrade Failure

Instructions

The SEL-1ENC1 includes one user-configurable DIP switch array (SW1), located at the card edge next to the extractor. In normal operation, all four switches are in the Off position, set closest to the card edge. In the unlikely event of corrupted software, you may need to temporarily change the setting of Switch 1 for the failsafe mode override. You would be alerted to this problem if a System Recovery Upgrade Required fault was triggered after an upgrade, and the module had finished rebooting.

If a System Recovery Upgrade Required fault is triggered, you should first try using the alternate firmware (see Activating Alternate Firmware in the Selenio frame manual) and then attempt the upgrade again. If this second attempt fails, follow these steps to activate the failsafe mode:

1 Remove the SEL-1ENC1 module from the frame and then push Switch 1 to the On position.

Figure 1-9 DIP Switch Setting for Failsafe Mode

Move Switch 1 to the On position for failsafe operation

Co

1 Reinsert the module.

2 Install the new module software using the Selenio user interface.

3 Remove the module, and then return Switch 1 to the Off position.

4 Reinsert the module.

The module is now running the new software.

Video Input

General

Loss of Input This parameter sets the encoder’s behavior in the event of a loss of video input. In both of the following cases, the encoder generates a complete program map table (PMT).

With the Black setting, the encoder continues generating elementary stream data for the lost signal. The encoder simulates black input for lost video and mute for lost audio. This setting effectively instructs the encoder to pretend that all inputs are present, supplying synthetic (black, mute) input as needed.

The Stop option forcibly shuts down some or all of the transport stream, depending on the lost input. The encoder stops generating MPEG packets on the PID of the lost input, but the PMT continues to carry the PID entry. If the stream is configured to put the PCRs in the video PID (see PCR PID), the encoder stops sending PCRs.

When the video input is lost, the encoder stops sending the PAT, PMT, and all program PIDs including audio, video, PCR, etc. When the audio input is lost, but video remains present, the encoder continues sending the PAT, the PCR packets and the PMT (with all of its elements including video, audio, lost audio, PCR, etc.). The encoder stops sending packets for lost audio.

Source FormatThis parameter sets the input video standard for encoding from the following options:

525

625

720p 50

720p 59.94

1080i 50

1080i 59.94 (default)

ResolutionThe Resolution of the encoded image that you select in this field is based on the source you set in the Source Format parameter.

ARC ControlUse this parameter to set the aspect ratio for the output video. The SEL-1ENC1 encoder provides a small number of ARC settings to accommodate different sources. For more complex aspect ratio conversions, the Selenio XD1 or another ARC processor may be required. The decoder’s ARC control parameter includes the following output options:

Auto-4:3

Auto-16:9

4:3

16:9

The Auto-4:3 option automatically detects the aspect ratio from the source. If that value is not available, the module sets the output to 4:3.

Auto-16:9 is the default setting; it likewise automatically detects the aspect ratio from the source, but if that value is not available, the module sets the output to 16:9.

The 4:3 and 16:9 settings display the signal at their respective values, regardless of the source aspect ratio.

Video CompressionDetailed control of GOP structures and compression settings makes it possible to create streams to best fit your requirements while achieving the highest picture quality possible.

General

Chroma SamplingThe SEL-1ENC1 offers two options: 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 (availability depends on model type purchased). Select 4:2:0 for distribution applications, and 4:2:2 for higher-end contribution applications. Currently the The SEL-1ENC1supports 4:2:2 for MPEG-2 only.

Coding Profile The following settings offer optimized results for specific applications:

MPEG-2 Main (SD-SDI)

MPEG-2 High (HD-SDI)

h264-baseline (Mobile or reduced resolution use)

h264 main (SD-SDI)

h264 high (HD-SDI)

GOP StructureThe SEL-1ENC1 offers six possible GOP structures:

In the Auto mode, when the encoder detects scene changes or other variables, it inserts an I-Frame. This setting is recommended for the best video quality.

The I option enables I-Frames only; no P or B-Frames are allowed. This results in a GOP length of 1.

IP enables I and P-Frames, but no B-Frames. Typically, this option is used for low delay applications or when the selected encoding profile does not permit B-Frames (for example, a H264-Baseline).

When you select 1B, the module inserts one B-Frame (between P Frames); 2B inserts two B-Frames (between P-Frames), and 3B inserts three B-Frames (between P-Frames).

GOP Selection Guidelines

Due to video coding techniques, typical I-frames consume more bits than P-frames, which consume more bits than B-frames. Consequently, GOP structure affects the relationship between bitrate and picture quality. Encoders generally impose no limits on combinations of rates and GOP structure, but the following guidelines should be observed.

When coding only I-frames (GOP-I), the encoder should use a minimum transport stream rate of 25 Mbps. Lower rates may degrade video quality with difficult material, especially when other program elements consume a significant amount of the program's bandwidth.

The use of GOP-I coding is not recommended.



15

MPEG-2 anchors prediction points at I-frames and P-frames. Intervening B-frames reference only the closest the I- and P-frame pictures. H.264 relaxes these restrictions, allowing B-frames to reference I- and P-frames that are outside their closest neighbors (in addition to other B-frames). This flexibility alters the notion of open and closed GOPs and affects the placement of edit points in the video stream. As a practical matter, the system's H.264 encoders currently limit their use of the full H.264 facilities. The encoder inserts a recovery point SEI message at each I-frame, providing synchronization points for downstream applications (decoders, editors, etc.).

GOP SizeThe term GOP Length means the distance between I-Frames.

The SEL-1ENC1 produces Dynamic GOPs with variable GOP lengths. This means that instead of a fixed GOP (with a never-changing GOP length), the encoder inserts I-Frames, thus ending the previous GOP and starting a new GOP.

The GOP Size parameter offers four options. All of these options are approximations, as the Selenio encoder creates an I-Frame upon scene changes, or during particularly complex scenes which would benefit from the creation of an I-Frame. The options are:

Short (approx. 0.25 seconds)

Medium (approx. 0.5 seconds)

Long (approx. 1 second)

Ultra Long (approx. 2 seconds)

Table 1-7 translates these settings to approximate GOP length. The encoder may deviate from these settings for a variety of reasons, and scene changes may trigger the insertion of I-Frames that break the pattern.

Closed GOPAn Open GOP allows the initial B-frames to be predicted from frames outside the GOP. This allows for a more efficient distribution of bits and improved picture quality. Closed GOPs prohibit B-Frames from being predicted using frames outside the GOP. This option is most often chosen when recording transport or program streams to file. A Closed GOP ensures the output bitstream can be edited on a GOP boundary without loss of information.

Table 1-7 GOP Sizes

Min QpUsing this parameter, you can set the minimum quantization value of the encoder. If you select 1, the encoder determines its own quantization values. Any other value you insert, from 2 to 51, will be applied to the compression. This parameter is typically only used for variable bitrate coding. By setting a maximum quality (by raising the Minimum Qp value), you can conserve bandwidth if the video content has a low complexity.

Film DetectWhen enabled, this feature detects film sources that are normally shot at 24 frames/sec (vs. 25, 30, or 60). Transferring film material to 30 or 60 frames/sec requires a 3:2 pulldown. For every pair of film frames, 5 interlaced fields (or progressive frames) are generated. The first frame has 3 fields, with the first and third identical. The second frame has 2 fields. (Two film frames at 24 frames/sec take the same time as five fields at 30 frames/sec.) The encoder can work more efficiently if it recognizes the repetition pattern, and this parameter tells the encoder how to process the source material.

If the input material is not appropriate for 3:2 pulldown (24 or 25 Hz input), the encoder ignores the film mode setting. (The difference between 24 and 25 frames/sec is small enough to ignore, and 3:2 pulldown is not used.)

The Enable option automatically chooses the appropriate encoding for the source material. The encoder will switch between film and video mode if the 3:2 repetition pattern persists or ceases for a long enough time.

PreprocIn some situations, the video pre-processing feature can help improve the apparent picture quality. Using the Auto setting, the encoder uses various filters to achieve pre-set results.

The None option disables video pre-processing. In some cases, although less pleasing to the human eye, this helps preserve details of the original input. This setting should be used for the first encoding legs of a multi-generation encoding system to prevent degradation of the video after subsequent encodings.

Sharp gives preference to preserving sharp edges and picture detail. This may at times introduce blocky artifacts, when the video complexity exceeds the available bandwidth to convey the detail.

Soft gives preference to reducing blocky coding artifacts, but may blur fine detail when the video complexity exceeds the available bandwidth.

PreprocessingThis parameter selects special processing for the audio channel. Options are: None (default) Loudness Control, and MultiMerge.

DelayThis parameter makes it possible to correct lip-sync by adjusting audio delay between -500 to +500 msec, relative to video. A negative number causes the audio signal to precede the video and helps to synchronize audio and video when using an external audio encoder. The best negative delay value to use is the one that most closely approximates the external audio encoder’s end-to-end processing time.

GainThe parameter sets the audio gain to apply, with a range of -800 to 400 dB (default is 0).

De-emphasisBy enabling this parameter, the audio compression is affected in different ways, depending on the type of signal:

AC-3... The encoder applies de-emphasis prior to audio compression.

MPEG... The encoder sets a flag in the audio stream that directs downstream equipment to apply de-emphasis.

Audio standards other than AC-3 or MPEG are not affected by this parameter.

ModeThe audio encoding modes are set as follows:

Mode 5.1 is used for 5.1 channel surround sound

Mono encodes mono audio on the left channel of the stereo pair.

Parametric Stereo is used for MPEG-4 encoders for lossy low-bitrate audio encoding

Stereo encodes stereo audio, left and right.

Dual-mono provides two independent mono audio channels (channel A and channel B) instead of stereo left and right.

Audio FormatThis parameter sets the audio input coding standard. The default setting is MPEG-192k. See Table 1-14 on page 21 to Table 1-19 on page 23 for details.

Language CodeThis control specifies the ISO language code identifying the audio stream. In dual-mono mode, the control specifies the code used for the first mono channel. You can type a country code directly into this field. The default setting for this parameter is English (ENG).

StateThis control enables or disables the addition of a specified audio channel into the stream.

Metadata SourceUse this parameter to set the source for audio metadata. Options are Internal (default), Serial-1, Serial-2, and VANC.

Metadata Reversion If the module detects an interruption in the Metadata Source, this option sets the response as either Last Used (default) or Preset.

Status

AV Sync Adj Count If audio and video streams have different time bases, they will, over time, drift apart. When their relative timing difference becomes too large, the encoder adjusts its internal timing to synchronize them. This condition does not necessarily indicate errors in the audio or video, but it can be an important diagnostic tool for some applications.

When the encoder receives a new configuration or re-acquires its audio/video, it can increment this value when synchronizing the inputs. If this count is incrementing, this may indicate that either there are errors in the audio, or video signals are being received, or pre-compressed audio input is not locked to the video time base. In some cases, the encoder may not have video input, or it might derive its time base from an input other than video. The AV Sync Adj Count applies to audio synchronization adjustments relative to the time base. Video normally supplies that time base, but some exceptions exist.

PMT Channel, CRC Error, and Loss of SignalThese read-only parameters indicate the PMT channel for the audio codec, the CRC error count, and confirmation of the presence of the selected audio input.

AAC

PS (Parametric Stereo) SignallingThis parameter specifies the type of parametric stereo signaling for AAC audio encoding. The Auto setting instructs the encoder to select the SBR signaling that is most appropriate, based on the program's SI-Mode.



25

If the SI-Mode is set to ATSC (in Transport Stream > General), the Auto setting forces the module to the Explicit setting.

If the SI-Mode is set to anything other than ATSC, the Auto setting forces the module to an Implicit setting.

AAC PS Signalling applies only when Audio Format (in Audio x) is set to one of the AAC-HE values.

SBR SignalingThe SBR Signaling parameter provides two options for signaling the presence of SBR data in the audio stream: Implicit and Explicit HIER. The parametric and SBR Signaling parameters should normally be set to Auto. When set to Auto, the module uses the appropriate settings, based on the option selected in the SI Mode (ATSC, ISDB-T, etc.). Advanced users can override these settings for special cases.

The Explicit-HIER option creates a stream explicitly indicating the presence of SBR data. Hierarchical signaling indicates the underlying audio object type.

SBR signalling only applies when the following conditions are met:

The audio standard is set to an AAC-HE*... setting

AAC Transport is set to Auto or LOAS.

AAC Version is set to Auto or MPEG-4.

AAC-HE-Profile decoders detect SBR when in implicitly-coded streams.

TransportThis parameter sets the audio stream type field in the PMT and the audio encapsulation format used for the stream. The Auto setting detects the input audio coding standard that is set at Audio x > Audio Format.

If the standard has been set to AAC-LC*... the Auto parameter defaults to ADTS.

If the ‘standard’ has been set to HE-AAC*...the Auto parameter defaults to LOAS.

ADTS (Audio Data Transport Stream) is typically used with AAC-LE-formatted audio.

LOAS (Low Overhead Audio Stream) is typically used with HE-AAC-formatted audio.

The Transport parameter applies only when the Audio Format (in Audio x) is set to an AAC... selection.

Dolby E

Program ConfigurationThis parameter sets the Dolby E audio program mix. The default setting is 5.1+2.

None specifies no VBI data for this line.

DVITC directs the encoder to extract Digital Vertical Interval Time Code from the specified VBI lines. The time codes are then transmitted in the MPEG stream according to ETSI EN 301 775 (a private extension). Typically, DVITC is carried on line 14, but it can appear on other VBI lines.

Lossless Monochrome sample data coding can be used to transmit 4:2:2 data without chrominance. See ETSI EN 301 775 V1.1.1, section 4.8. A program in DVB mode has constraints on using this function.

WST selects the World System Teletext transmission format can be configured to conform to ETSI EN-300-472, to ETSI EN-301-775, or to both standards. These standards make possible the following lines to be encoded: 7 to 22 and 320 to 335, corresponding to VBI line indexes 7 to 22 in both field 1 and 2. The standards list lines outside this range as undefined or reserved.

Consequently, the WST function should be specified only for lines 7 to 22 in either field. The encoder ignores WST outside this range (treats the function as none).

Depending on the closed caption source, some encoders can alternatively receive closed captions over ethernet. Only one source is active per encoder. If the encoder is not configured to use VBI lines as the closed caption source (the CC source is not VBI), it discards the data for VBI lines configured with the Closed Caption function. Additionally, setting the CC source to UDP overrides the line 21 function in both fields, using the same processing as None, regardless of the actual configured value.

Closed Caption specifies the selected line should carry closed captioning data. That is, the encoder extracts the closed caption data from this line (typically line 21) of the input video, decodes that according to EIA-608, and then transmits it through the MPEG stream according to EIA-708.

Typically, this value would be used for NTSC and NTSC-J and would be specified only to VBI line 21 (in both fields).

Nonetheless, the encoder does not treat this value as a special case. It will do its best to process closed captions on whatever lines are configured.)

In the SEL-1ENC1, closed captioning is taken from line 21 VBI if the signal is SD-SDI; and VANC if the signal is HD-SDI.

WSS directs the encoder to extract Wide Screen Signaling (WSS) from the specified VBI line, as defined by ETSI standard EN 300 294. The WSS data is transmitted in the MPEG stream according to ETSC EN 301 775. For standard video signals, WSS appears on field 1, line 23. Use of this function value on other lines is discouraged.

If WSS is successfully extracted from field 1, line 23, and the program's SI-PSI mode is other than MPEG, and the video aspect ratio is either auto-4x3 or auto-16x9, then bits b0, b1, and b2 of data group 1 will be used to set the aspect ratio and Active Format Description (AFD) of the video in the MPEG stream. This information can be used by a decoder to insert video index information in the output signal.

AMOLl-48, AMOL-96 specifies the selected line should carry an Automated Measurement of Lineups (AMOL waveform), as specified by ANSI/CEA-2020, Other VBI Waveforms, December 2007. The encoder extracts the AMOL data from this line (typically line 20 or 22) of the input video, decodes the information according to ANSI/CEA-2020, and then transmits it through the MPEG stream.

The two values specify 48 bits/line and 96 bits/line, using a waveform appropriate for the indicated bit coding. The values can be combined on different lines and/or fields.

VPS (Video Program System) consists only of 32 bits of data, primarily the date and time for which the broadcast of the currently running TV programme was originally scheduled.

VBI StatusThese parameters offer a detailed read-only view of the different field and lines in use for VBI.

Ancillary Data

RateThis parameter sets the maximum data bitrate to be encoded. When the data source specifies a data input value other than 0, incoming data is added to the encoder's program as a data stream. The encoder will discard excess data to avoid overrunning the configured bandwidth.

The associated transport stream bitrate can be computed as follows:

ts_rate = data_rate * 188 / 175

Every transport stream packet (188 bytes) carries a 4-byte header. Packets with data also carry a 9-byte PES header, leaving 175 bytes for the data payload.

The encoder deducts this stream's bandwidth from the overall transport stream rate when computing the video rate.

DID FilterThis parameter enables or disables VANC service filtering by DID/SDID values.

The Enable option makes it possible to select explicit individual VANC services. Table entries with valid DID/SDID combinations are extracted from the encoder's input and copied to the transport stream output. VANC data with non-matching DID and SDID values are filtered out and discarded. (The Enable option affects only the SMPTE 2038 / RDD 11 operation, not any other VANC service.)

When Disabled is chosen, all VANC data is extracted from the encoder's input (instead of being filtered) and data that is eligible for passthrough is copied to the MPEG output stream. The encoder handles some VANC data input directly, such as embedded audio. These VANC data might affect the generated transport stream, but they are not copied to the stream as part of the unfiltered processing.

FormatEither SMPTE-2038 or RDD-11 are available.

VANC Service x DIDThis parameter selects the service's primary Data ID (DID). When the VANC DID filter is enabled, entries in the data service table specify DID/SDID pairs that identify data to copy from the input to the encoder's transport stream output. Non-matching data are filtered out and discarded.



33

Closed captioning uses a DID value of 0x61. Encoders extract closed captions automatically and move them to the program's picture user data. If a VANC service is specified with the DID and SDID for closed captions, the encoder will additionally pass the closed caption data as a VANC service.

Repeating some information from SMPTE 291M-1998 and SMPTE 334M-2000, the following table summarizes the DID/SDID values. The entries indicated as eligible can be copied to the transport stream output (either by an active service table entry or when the VANC DID filter is disabled).

Secondary Data ID (SDID) is ignored if the DID on the same service is set to 128 or greater.

VANC Service x SDIDThis parameter sets the service's Secondary Data ID (SDID).

Closed captioning uses SDID values of 0x01 for EIA-708-B and 0x02 for EIA-608 data. The encoder extracts closed captions automatically and moves them to the program's picture user data. If a VANC service is specified with the DID and SDID for closed captions, the encoder will additionally pass the closed caption data as a VANC service.

The SDID is ignored if the DID on the same service is set to 128 or greater.

Close Caption

Closed Captioning and DVB Teletext CaptioningAlthough North America has dedicated standards for closed captioning of video (EIA-608 and 708), many countries in Europe and elsewhere have not yet adopted formal standards. For these countries, closed captioning is part of the DVB Teletext System as described in ITU-R BT-653-3. These specifications define all Teletext Systems (A, B, C, and D) used in the world and are also known as the World System Teletext (WST). A Teletext system is made of several pages of various data information and CC data is described in one these pages. System B is used in Australia, the UK, and Germany, among other countries.

Australian closed captions are inserted on line 21/334 in analog PAL broadcast signals, as per the ITU-R BT-653-3. When analog PAL is produced or converted to SDTV (625 digital), a digitized version of the closed captioning appears on line 21/334 (in the same way line 21 on NTSC signals is digitized and appears on the line 21 of SD-SDI signals). The ITU-R BT-653-3 document proposed by Free TV Australia indicates how to carry this CC data into the VANC area of SD-and HD-SDI signals by use of the SMPTE 334M VANC embedding protocol. For digital broadcasting, Australia intends to use the ETSI EN 300 472 standard that specifies the conveyance of ITU-R System B Teletext in DVB bit streams.

(Close Caption) SourceThis parameter selects a captioning source and disables processing of the others.

None disables all closed captioning.

The UDP option accepts CC data for both HD- and SD-SDI video. This option is most commonly used with a serial-to-UDP conversion device (such as a Lantronix MSS-100) to receive serial characters and to re-transmit them over Ethernet. When using this arrangement, the controller monitors a specified UDP port for incoming characters and sends any characters it receives over the system backplane to the appropriate encoder.

VANC extracts closed captioning from an HD-SDI signal.

VBI extracts closed captioning from an SD-SDI signal. This value directs the encoder to extract 608 closed captions from VBI lines of the video (line 21 for NTSC). The VBI function must be set accordingly.

Serial-1 receives CC data from the module’s GPI/Serial port for both HD- and SD-SDI.

Co

(Close Caption) TransThe encoder can receive either 608 or 708 closed captioning. The Trans parameter sets the translation behavior for the different sources types.

Always enables 608-to-708 translation. Any incoming 708 captions are discarded, and translated 608 captions are used instead.

As-needed enables 608-to-708 translation. If the input carries 708 captions, they are used to provide captions downstream. If, however, the input does not carry 708 captions, incoming 608 captions are translated and used to supply 708 captions.

None disables 608-to-708 translation; incoming 708 captions (if present) are preserved.

AFD

AFD DefaultThis parameter sets the default Active Format Description (AFD).

As described by the aspect ratio, a transport stream can carry information describing the source and the display aspect ratios. When the encoder inserts an AFD without information from the input signal, this value provides the active format to use. See ETSI TR 101 154 V1.4.1 (2000-07), Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB); Implementation guidelines for the use of MPEG-2 Systems; Video and Audio in satellite, cable and terrestrial broadcasting applications.

The following options (except for None) are from Annex B of that specification:

None explicitly indicates not to insert AFD, unless the input stream already carries aspect ratio information.

AFD-0 to AFD-1 Reserved

AFD-2 box 16:9 (top)

AFD-3 box 14:9 (top)

AFD-4 box > 16:9 (center)

AFD-5 to AFD-7 Reserved

AFD-8 Active format is the same as the coded frame

AFD-9 4:3 (center)

AFD-10 16:9 (center)

AFD-11 14:9 (center)

AFD-12 Reserved

AFD-13 4:3 (with shoot & protect 14:9 center)



Drop explicitly indicates to drop AFD, even if the input stream carries aspect ratio information. This, however, does not impact the VANC DID filter setting.



37

KLV

KLV RateThis parameter sets the specific KLV data rate.

Teletext and OP-47

Teletext ModeTeletext Mode sets the encoding for Teletext data. Options are Dual (default), ETSI EN 300 472, and ETSI EN 301 775.

OP 47 LinesUse this parameter to set the maximum number of OP-47 teletext lines per frame to process. A value of 0 disables OP-47 teletext processing. When you select lines 1 to 34, the encoder allocates sufficient bandwidth to carry the specified number of lines. The encoder discards excess data as necessary to avoid overrunning the configured maximum teletext lines per video frame.

When computing the transport stream bandwidth associated with OP-47 subtitling, the data are packaged similar to VBI function World System Teletext using EN-300-472. OP-47 processing always uses the EN-300-472 transmission format, regardless of the VBI teletext mode. The presence of OP-47 lines can insert a VBI teletext descriptor into the transport stream.

Teletext from VANC data can be carried in two separate ways in the transport stream. Both methods extract VANC data from DID and SDID (0x43, 0x02) for subtitling distribution packets or from (0x43, 0x03) for VANC multipackets:

If the OP-47 line count is configured to a non-zero value, any teletext lines are carried in their own packetized elementary stream (this includes both subtitling distribution packets and multipackets carrying teletext subtitling).

VANC service can be defined to filter on the DID and SDID, which would extract the subtitling, combine it with other VANC services, and carry the aggregate VANC services in the stream. This aggregate data stream's rate is controlled by the VANC rate.

Either or both methods can be used to extract OP-47 subtitling, resulting in zero, one, or two copies of the subtitling in the transport stream.

The configured subtitling line count applies to one video frame. Data are extracted from the input and copied to the output, up to the limit of the current frame. Any additional subtitling lines are dropped (and counted explicitly as dropped OP-47 lines), triggering the OP-47 Data exceeds lines/frame allocation alarm. Subtitling packets dropped as part of VANC service processing are counted as general VANC dropped packets, not specifically as dropped OP-47 lines.

Only one of KLV metadata and OP-47 teletext subtitling can be active. If both this OP-47 line count and the KLV metadata rate are non-zero, the module triggers the configuration fault.

SpliceThe following parameters are covered in this section:

Preroll, with values of 1 to 10 milliseconds

GPI Mode, with Close-In, Close-Out, Close In/Out, and Open-In options

Splice Trigger

Splice Event Trap, which enables or disables SNMP when a splice event occurs

Preroll

The Preroll parameter sets the delay between a splice point trigger and its insertion. This value tells the encoder how long to wait between a splice point trigger and the insertion of the associated In Point or Out Point. SCTE 35-2004 recommends at least a four-second interval between the first cueing message and the arrival of the associated In or Out Point.

If you insert a value of 0, the encoder inserts a splice point immediately.

A value between 0.001 and 10.000 causes the encoder to insert a splice point following this specified period of delay. This value specifies the time between the first cueing message and the arrival of the associated In or Out Point. SCTE 35-2004 recommends a minimum delay of four seconds, but the system allows a smaller interval.

GPI ModeThe GPI Mode sets the splice point behavior for GPI triggers. When a program's Trigger value is set to any value between GPI-<1-4>, this parameter specifies the correspondence between In Point and Out Point with the GPI condition.

Close-In generates a mark-in when the GPI closes, and no action when the GPI opens.

Close-In-Out generates a mark-in when the GPI closes and mark-out when the GPI opens (The default setting is Traditional behavior).

Close-out generates a mark-out when the GPI closes, and no action when the GPI opens.

Open-In generates a mark-in when the GPI opens, and no action when the GPI closes.

Open-In-Out generates a mark-in when the GPI opens and a mark-out when the GPI closes.

Open-Out generates a mark-out when the GPI opens, and no action when the GPI closes.

Laser Safety for Fiber Optic Back ModulesWARNING! Use of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than those specified in this document may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

Optical fiber telecommunication systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that emit infrared light that is normally not visible to the human eye. Although a conventional laser produces a small beam of light, the power density is very high, and it can damage your eyes.

If a beam of laser light enters the eye, the eye magnifies and focuses the energy on the retina. The energy that reaches the retina can be as much as 100,000 times more than at the cornea and, as a result, it can burn the retina.

Laser transmission products are classified in four major groups (Class 1, 2, 3, and 4), according to their emissions and potential for causing injury. Fiber optic transmitter modules in this series are designated Class 1.

Precautions for Enclosed SystemsIn its normal operating mode, an optical fiber communication system is totally enclosed and presents no risk of eye injury. However, if the fiber optic cables that interconnect various components of an optical fiber disconnect or break, you may be exposed to laser emissions. Also, technicians may be exposed to laser emissions during installation and servicing.

Unlike some other laser designs, semiconductor lasers have a highly divergent beam that decreases rapidly with distance. The greater the distance, the less energy will enter the eye, and the less potential risk for eye injury.

WARNING! Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at the energized fiber end.

Under normal operating conditions, optical fiber telecommunication systems are completely enclosed; nonetheless, observe the following precautions:

1 Do not stare into optical connectors or broken fibers.

2 Ensure technicians have satisfactorily completed an approved training course before performing installation or maintenance.

3 Ensure there are appropriate warning labels near the optical ports of the modules.

Precautions for Unenclosed SystemsDuring service, maintenance, or restoration, an optical fiber telecommunication system is considered unenclosed. Under these conditions, follow the practices described below.

CAUTION! Only authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to do service, maintenance, and restoration.

1 Avoid exposing the eye to emissions from unterminated, energized optical connectors at close distances.



41

2 Ensure that only authorized, trained personnel use optical test equipment during installation or servicing.

3 Turn off all laser sources before scanning a fiber with an optical test set.

4 Keep all unauthorized personnel away from the immediate area of the optical fiber systems during installation and service.

For guidance on the safe use of optical fiber communication systems in the workplace, consult ANSI Z136.2, American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers in the U.S. or outside the U.S., IEC-60825, Part 2.

Label The label shown in Figure 1-11 is applicable to Class 1 laser products.

Figure 1-11 Label for Class 1 Laser Products

Inspecting and Cleaning Fiber Optic ConnectionsWhen connecting fibers to a back module, ensure that you do not touch the end of the fiber, or allow it to become dirty. Small amounts of microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously impair or disable a fiber optic network. If you touch the end of a fiber prior to connecting it to the back module, or otherwise allow it to become dirty, you must carefully inspect and clean the connection.

Table 1-22 lists some typical contaminants of a fiber optic connection.

CLASS 1LASER PRODUCT

Table 1-22 Typical Contaminants

Contaminant Comments

Dust particle, 1 micron Can block up to 1% of the light transmission, creating a loss of 0.05 dB

Dust particle, 9 microns

Although microscopic, the particle can completely block the fiber core

Human hair Typically 50 to 75 microns in diameter

Oil Frequently caused by touching

Film residues Can accumulate from vapors or smoke

Powdery coatings Can be left behind after water or other solvents evaporate

Co

Important Points

Before you begin cleaning, always inspect the fiber connections.

Inspect and clean both fiber ends every time you make a connection.

Keep a protective cap on unplugged fiber connectors.

Do not touch the end of a fiber.

Store unused protective caps in a clean resealable container, located nearby for easy access.

Do not reuse cleaning tissues or swabs.

Do not allow alcohol or another wet cleaning agent to dry on a fiber end.

Never touch the dispenser tip of an alcohol bottle or any clean portion of a tissue or swab.

Use care when handling the fiber; do not twist or pull.

Keep your cleaning fluids away from open flame or spark.

Figure 1-12 describes the acceptable limits of defects in a fiber connection.

Figure 1-12. Fiber Optic Cross-Section

Zone 2(25 to 60 micron diameter)Maximum of 3 scratches <3.0 micron width is acceptable;Maximum of 1 light dig of <3.0 micron is acceptable

Zone 1(0 to 25 micron diameter)No scratches or digs are allowed

Inspection and Cleaning Procedure

InspectionTo inspect and clean the fibers, follow these steps:

1 Ensure the fiber is not “live.”

WARNING! Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at an energized fiber end.

2 Inspect the fiber endface with a fiberscope.

3 If the fiber endface is clean, return to the installation instructions; if the connector is dirty, proceed to the dry cleaning instructions below.

Dry CleaningIf you are using cartridge- or pocket-style dry cleaning tools, follow the manufacturer’s directions. If you are using lint-free wipes, follow these steps:

1 Fold the lint-free wipe four to eight times into a square, taking care to avoid touching the cleaning surface of the wipe.

2 Lightly wipe the fiber tip in the central portion of the lint-free wipe.

Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.

3 Repeat the wiping action on another clean section of the wipe or a new wipe.

4 Inspect the connector again with the fiberscope.

5 If the connection is clean, return to the installation steps; if the connector is still dirty, proceed to the wet cleaning instructions.

Wet CleaningUsing 99.8% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes, follow these steps to wet clean the fiber:

1 Fold the wipe into a square, about 4 to 8 layers thick.

2 Moisten one section of the lint-free wipe with one drop of 99.8% alcohol, ensuring that a portion of the wipe remains dry.

3 Lightly wipe the fiber end in the alcohol-moistened portion of the lint-free wipe.

4 Immediately repeat the wiping action on the dry section of the wipe, removing any residual alcohol.

5 Inspect the fiber endface again, and if necessary, repeat the wet cleaning with another clean section of the lint-free wipe.

CAUTION! Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.

6 Dry clean any remaining residue, and then inspect the connector again.



44

Co

7 If the contamination persists, repeat the dry and wet cleaning procedure until the endface is clean.

If the fiber end still remains dirty after repeated cleaning attempts, call Customer Service for further instructions; if the fiber end is clean, return to the installation instructions.
